Successful Management of a Huge Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst with Lung-Preserving Surgery by Armin Amirian, Bizhan Ziaian, Amirhossein Erfani, Reza Shahriarirad, Keivan Ranjbar

“…Lung resections should be considered the last choice for huge pulmonary hydatid cysts when the lung expansion is not optimal after cyst removal. Here, we present a case of huge lung hydatid cyst involving the entire right lower lobe which was successfully managed by lung-preserving surgery in which the postoperative course showed gradual resolution of the involved lobe during a one-year follow-up.…”

Combustion study of rice husk under different heating rates by integrating thermogravimetric analysis and decision tree regression by Pambudi Suluh, Jongyingcharoen Jiraporn Sripinyowanich, Saechua Wanphut

“…Results indicated that increasing heating rates caused elevated burnout (Tb) and peak temperatures (Tp) while extending the active combustion stage. The optimized decision tree model effectively predicts mass loss, demonstrated by a perfect coefficient of determination (R²) of 1 with a low root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.1993 on the validation set. …”

Adaptive modulation technology in LTE-Advanced system by Hongguang DUAN, Li HU, Mei TIAN

“…Adaptive modulation technology is an important research content of AMC technology in LTE-Advanced system.The β value of new MCS levels were studied,in which the higher order modulation 256QAM was used,then the general β value of new MCS levels by the iterative algorithm in several different channel models were obtained,according to the convexity of the mean square error function,and compared with the traditional MCS levels.The simulation results show that the new MCS levels provide higher system performance when SNR is high,and the optimized β value makes CQI calculation more accurately.…”

Heterogeneous foraging swarms can be better by Gal A. Kaminka, Yinon Douchan

“…While promising, the use of EI is brittle (as we show), since robots that selfishly seek to optimize their own EI (minimizing time spent on collisions) can actually cause swarm-wide performance to degrade.ResultsTo address this, we derive a reward function from a game-theoretic view of swarm foraging as a fully-cooperative, unknown horizon repeating game. …”

Sealing Behavior and Flow Mechanism of Expandable Material Slurry with High Water Content for Sealing Gas Drainage Boreholes by Guozhong Hu, Wenrui He, Changjin Lan

“…The results show the following: (1) the expandable material with high water content was better than cement to bind with coal mass; (2) the slurry of expandable material with high water content, with a water-cement ratio above 6 : 1, is groutable, and as the water-cement ratio increases, the groutability and penetrability of the expandable material with high water content increase; (3) the optimal grouting pressure for expandable slurry with high water content is 2-3 MPa; and (4) the higher the water-cement ratio, the greater the permeation range of expandable slurry with high water content, but the increase in the permeation range is relatively small, and the optimal water-cement ratio for expandable slurry with high water content is 7 : 1. …”
